Definitions

  • the present invention relates to dressings, in particular dressings for covering a portion of the anatomical surface of a living being, a method for preparing such dressings, and a method of treating a portion of the anatomical surface of a living being, especially a joint or a protruding part of the body.
  • dressings for the treatment or prevention of wounds or pressure sores or even unbroken skin are essentially flat dressings, which are sufficiently mouldable to be applied to flat or slightly curved areas of the body.
  • Such flat dressings are not very suitable for applying on protruding parts of the body or joints e.g. heels or especially elbows or knees having not only a very pronounced curvature but also being subject to constant bending which often causes wrinkling and focusing of stresses in the dressing often causing slipping of the adhesive and unintended detachment of the dressing.
  • WO 93/00056 discloses that a skin-friendly dressing having grooves or ditches surrounding a central part of the dressing has a high degree of flexibility.
  • the ditches are surrounding a central part of the adhesive.
  • EP patent No. 0 768 071 discloses a wound dressing especially for use in the sacrum area, said dressing having one or more linear depressions that assist a user in applying, flexing or folding the dressing and that the dressing may have two sets of spaced parallel depressions forming a grid which is useful in the wound assessment.
  • the thickness of the adhesive layer at the base of the depressions should at least be as great as the thickness of the border portion of the adhesive layer.
  • GB patent No. 1,075,939 discloses an adhesive bandage having a thermoplastic top film provided with embossments in order to allow passage of water vapour though the film.
  • Non-adherent dressing comprising a film which contains depressions over the wound contacting area which depressions contain a viscous pharmaceutical composition which is suitable for topical application.
  • the depressions may be in the form of a pattern of conical depressions.
  • WO 99/36017 discloses a dressing comprising a substantially water-impervious layer and a skin-friendly adhesive having a pattern of indentations, which diminishes or disappears when the dressing is moisturised.
  • the grooves are stated to have a depth of at least 25% and more preferred at least 50% of the thickness of the dressing and it is stated that the pattern may increase the flexibility of the dressing.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,356,372 discloses an occlusive pressure-reducing wound dressing consisting of an occlusive wound contacting layer and a pressure-reducing layer and it is claimed that the pressure-reducing layer has a contour for adapting to curved body surfaces.
  • the top surface comprises a plurality of elevated domains and lowered domains providing a lower overall resistance to larger applied compressive force.
  • the lowered domains between the elevated domains provide valleys extending across the pressure-reducing layer in substantially right-angled relationship to each other so that the bending of the relatively thick foam in a multiplicity of directions is facilitated.
  • DE 42 03 130 discloses a medical dressing, the surface of which in certain areas has been embossed so that the embossed areas are transparent.
  • the embossed fraction of the dressing is greater than 20% of the surface for enabling a sufficient transparency to inspect the below wound and skin.
  • DE 42 03 130 shows different embossment patterns all showing linear indentations progressing in several directions and is silent with respect to the disadvantages of such lines.
  • the flexibility of a dressing is important, with respect to the shape, the size and the adhesive of the dressing, not only in use but also during the application.
  • a dressing on a part of the body that is frequently bent such as the inner or outer side of a joint or inside a hand, or a protruding part of the body or a part of the body having a double curvature such as the inter digital area flexibility is a very important property as the dressing must be able to adapt to the contour of the skin surface and to follow movements without slipping the skin or exposing the skin to significant stress causing pain or unpleasant feeling and during use a sufficient flexibility enabling the dressing to follow the movement of the underlying skin is decisive for obtaining a long wear time and for reducing the risk of migration of humidity from a wound or an abrasion to neighbouring areas which may cause maceration of the skin or leakage at the edge of the dressing.
  • the present invention relates to a dressing for covering a portion of the anatomical surface of a living being, said dressing being able to adhere to the skin, and/or a wound, said dressing comprising a backing layer and a layer of a skin-friendly adhesive for adhering to the skin, and said dressing having a pattern of indentations.
  • the invention also relates to a method for preparing a dressing comprising a backing layer and a layer of a skin-friendly adhesive for adhering to the skin, which dressing has a pattern of indentations.
  • the invention relates to a method of treating a portion of the anatomical surface of a living being, especially a protruding part of the body.

  • the present invention relates to a dressing for covering a portion of the anatomical surface of a living being, said dressing being able to adhere to the skin, and/or a wound, said dressing comprising a backing layer and a layer of a skin-friendly adhesive for adhering to the skin, and said dressing having a pattern of indentations wherein the indentations are in the form of a pattern of connected indentations not being linear and progressing in at least three main directions.
  • the pattern of indentations of a dressing according to the present invention covers all the central surface of the dressing providing flexibility to all of the surface of the dressing and not only to the distal part thereof.
  • the dressing of the invention is suitable for covering blisters, cuts, graces and abrasions and other skin injuries especially on a part of the body that is frequently bent such as a joint, e.g. heels, knuckles, elbows or knees, or inside a hand, on a protruding part of the body such as the tip of a finger or toe, or on a part of the body having a double curvature such as the inter digital area or other parts of the body that are stressed by movements as it has a high capability of adapting to the specific site during application and then, when applied, a high capability of following movements of the skin like a second skin.
  • a joint e.g. heels, knuckles, elbows or knees, or inside a hand
  • a protruding part of the body such as the tip of a finger or toe
  • a part of the body having a double curvature such as the inter digital area or other parts of the body that are stressed by movements as it has a high capability of
  • a dressing of the invention is preferably large enough to cover abrasions on both knees and elbows, large enough to anchor well at both or several sides of the joint, and yet preferably small enough to be applied with one hand when applying on an elbow.
  • the pattern of indentations progressing in at least three directions allows maximum flexibility and it allows the dressing to bend in the pattern of indentations without introducing stress to the adhesive material and reducing the risk of peeling of the dressing from the skin.
  • the effect is believed to be supported by the non-linearity and number of the indentations, which distributes the stress introduced when bending and stretching a joint rather than focussing the stress along the edge or rectilinear indentations, which might initiate formation of a fold or peeling of the dressing.
  • the indentations are in the form of a symmetrical pattern providing a more controlled spacing of the general directions of progression of the indentations.
  • the indentations are in the form of a honeycomb pattern in which the indentations are relatively narrow grooves defining a pattern of adhesive areas having the maximum thickness of the dressing and being of essentially hexagonal shape.
  • the angled propagation of the indentations is believed to distribute the stress rather than to focus the same and thus to prevent formation of folds which might open for peeling of the dressing at the edge or expose the adhesive and cause adhesion to e.g. clothes.
  • the high flexibility is achieved as a consequence of the combination of the size of the parts of the pattern, i.e. separate hexagonal shape of the adhesive areas between the indentations, the distance between the separate pattern parts, the thickness of the overall adhesive layer and the thickness of the adhesive layer in the pattern.
  • the distance between the areas between the indentations i.e. the width of the indentations
  • the width of the indentations is in the magnitude of from about 0.2 to about 3 millimeters, e.g. 0.5-2 millimeters, suitably 1.2 millimeters providing a suitable flexibility.
  • the size of the adhesive areas between the indentations is from 2 to 25 millimeters, more preferred from 2 to 16 millimeters and preferably from 2 to 12 millimeters.
  • the pattern of indentations progressing in at least three directions should not provide any lines of sight across the dressing in any direction for avoiding focussing of stress along such lines of the indentations.
  • the total area of the indentations is below 20% of the total surface of the dressing, suitably below 18% providing a sufficient flexibility combined with high security against formation of wrinkles or leakages.
  • indentations being wider at the top end and narrower at the bottom e.g. having a trapezoidal cross-section.
  • the indentations are in the form of a pattern in which the indentations are relatively thin grooves defining a pattern of adhesive areas having the maximum thickness of the dressing and being of essentially circular shape.
  • the indentations are suitably made from the side of the backing layer in which case it is simple to add a step for effecting the impression in a conventional line for producing medical dressings.
  • this embodiment provides an uninterrupted adhesive surface facing the skin to be covered which is pertinent for obtaining a protection against migration of humidity from a wound or an abrasion to neighbouring parts of the skin or to the edge of the dressing. Still further, an uninterrupted adhesive surface facing the skin will not give rise to unpleasant feeling during physical activity due to “opening and closing” of the indentations which may cause pinching or pain.
  • the indentations have depth of at least two thirds of the total thickness of the dressing. In accordance with a preferred embodiment the indentations have depth of at least 75% of the total thickness of the dressing, more preferred up to 90% and even exceeding 90% of the total thickness of the dressing.
  • the dressing may be considered as a number of thick parts connected by thinner bridging parts.
  • the bridging parts are preferably sufficiently large and present in a sufficient number to allow stress originated from movement of an elbow or knee joint to be relaxed without proceeding from one thick part to the next.
  • the thickness of the dressing at the bottom of the indentations of a dressing of the invention is below 0.5 millimetres e.g. from 0.05 to 0.4 millimetres, suitably form 0.1 to 0.3 millimetres providing a suitable flexibility.
  • a dressing of the invention is provided with zones of small thickness stopping the propagation of the peeling and enabling cutting off a part of the edge along the indentations.
  • pattern may also offer further advantages as the zones will prevent/slow down the propagation of swelling of a hydrocolloid from to reach the whole dressing, and to reach the edge and cause slip of the dressing, and also provide an additional stability and comfort due to the discontinuous attachment to the skin surface.
  • the dressing of the invention is especially suitable for use on hands or feet or on a joint such as a heel, a knee, an elbow, or a knuckle, preferably a knee, an elbow, or a knuckle.
  • the backing layer is a substantially water-impervious film which protects the adhesive from being adversely affected when the wearer is bathing or in case of incidental wetting of the area and especially when the adhesive is water absorbing.
  • the backing layer is a film showing a low surface friction for reducing the stress transferred to the skin due to physical activity of the user as a dressing covered by clothing will move relatively to the dressing. Such stress may cause a rolling up of the edge or even slippage of the grip between the dressing and the skin reducing the wear time.
  • a border zone of the dressing is free of indentations for providing a sealing preventing e.g. dust and infectious matter from entering an injured part of the skin covered by the dressing.
  • the outer periphery of the dressing is preferably bevelled in analogy with the disclosure of U.S. Pat. No. 4,867,748 or U.S. Pat. No. 5,133,821 in order to reduce the risk of “rolling-up” the edge of the dressing reducing the wear-time.
  • the edge is preferably bevelled so that the thickness adjacent to the edge does not exceed about 30% of the maximum thickness of the dressing, more preferred not exceeding 25% of the maximum thickness for dressings having a maximum thickness above about 0.7 millimetres, whereas the thickness adjacent to the edge for dressings having a maximum thickness below about 0.5 millimetres preferably does not exceed about 50% of the maximum thickness of the dressing.
  • the thickness of the adhesive in the bottom of the pattern of indentations is less than the thickness of the beveled edge which provides for a very flexible area for contacting the protruding part of the body.
  • the dressing of the invention may be in one embodiment of the invention in the form of individual dressings as indicated above having a bevelled edge.
  • the dressing is in the form of a long strip of dressing having bevelled edges. This embodiment is suitable for tailoring individual dressings by cutting a suitable length of the strip. It is preferred to cut in the bottom of the indentations, as a tailored dressing having relatively thin edges reducing the risk of “rolling-up” of the edge is then obtained.
  • Such broader indentations may in accordance with a further embodiment of the invention be applied to individual dressings for enabling a custom cutting of the dressing to the specific site where the dressing is to be used.
  • the broader indentations may thus e.g. follow the outer contour of the dressing, enabling a reduction of the size of the dressing without losing the advantage of a predetermined shape such as a “banana”-shape.
  • the invention furthermore relates in a further aspect to a method for preparing a dressing comprising a backing layer and a skin-friendly adhesive for adhering to the skin and a backing layer, which dressing has a pattern of indentations not being linear and progressing in at least three main directions.
  • the method includes providing a supply of dressing having a backing layer and a layer of skin friendly adhesive, placing the dressing in a press together with a mould having a surface corresponding to the desired pattern of indentations and providing a sufficient pressure to provide the desired pattern of indentations.
  • the method of the invention may be carried out in a conventional stepwise manner or the mould may have a continuous surface corresponding to the desired pattern of indentations for producing individual dressings or dressings in the form of a continuous long strip of dressings as described above.
  • a mould having a continuous surface may e.g. be located on a roller in a manner known per se.
  • the invention in a third aspect relates to a method of treating a portion of the anatomical surface of a living being comprising applying a dressing for covering the portion of the anatomical surface of a living being, said dressing being able to adhere to the skin of a living being and said dressing comprising a backing layer and a skin-friendly adhesive, which dressing comprises a pattern of indentations wherein the indentations are in the form of a pattern of connected indentations not being linear and progressing in at least three main directions.
  • a dressing of the invention may preferably be sterilised for avoiding the risk of causing infections when applied to skin areas having broken skin.
  • the dressing is sterilised, if the dressing is applied to non-broken skin, e.g. on an elbow for preventing and protecting against abrasion which is also considered an aspect of the present invention.
  • the skin-friendly adhesive may be any skin-friendly adhesive known per se for production of medical articles, which are to be adhered to human skin, preferably an adhesive comprising hydrocolloids or other moisture absorbing constituents for prolonging the time of use.
  • the adhesive may suitably be of the type disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,231,369, 4,367,732, 4,867,748, and 5,714,225. Especially preferred are the adhesives disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,367,732, and 5,714,225.
  • the dressing of the invention may in one embodiment of the invention be in the form of a mono-phase adhesive, i.e. made from one adhesive component or in accordance with another embodiment of the invention be in the form of a two-zone adhesive, e.g. of the general type disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,714,225, i.e. a part of or all of the adhesive areas of the dressing having maximum thickness being constituted by more than one type of adhesive.

  • a thinner backing layer or film than is normally used when preparing medical dressings, an improved stretchability and adaptability is obtained at the same time as the modulus is reduced.
  • the water impervious layer or film is preferably a low-friction flexible polymer film reducing the risk of unwanted stress in the area of the crack impeding the healing of a crack on a very exposed site.

  • An improved stretchability and adaptability is obtained at the same time as the modulus is reduced.
  • the thickness of the film must be chosen in consideration of the pressure used in the production process in order to avoid a rupture of the film along the indentations when removing the dressing.
  • a dressing of the invention is optionally covered in part or fully by one or more release liners or cover films to be removed before or during application.
